Trump orders plan to dismantle Education Department while keeping some functions
Donald Trump has signed an executive order calling for the dismantling of the US Education Department, advancing a campaign promise to take apart an agency that has been a long-time target of conservatives.
The president has criticised the department as wasteful and polluted by liberal ideology, but completing its dismantling is most likely impossible without an act of Congress, which created the department in 1979 г.
Белият дом заяви, че отделът няма да се затвори напълно в момента. Той ще запази определени критични функции като управление на федерални студентски заеми.
